MUCILAGE OR OTHER LlQUlD-ADHESIVE BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 582,100, dated May 4,1897'. Application filed June 24, 1396. Serial No. 596,736. (No model.)

T at whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, LEE CLINTON SAW'IN, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Salt Lake City, in the county of Salt Lake and Stateof Utah, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in llIucilageor other Liquid-Adhesive Bottles, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forminga part thereof, in which similar numerals of reference indicatecorresponding parts.

This invention relates to mucilage an d other liquid-adhesive bottles;and the object thereof is to provide an improved device of this classwhich is simple in construction and operation and which is designed toprevent the mucilage or other adhesive from evaporating, and also toprevent the same from drying or caking on the neck of the bottle.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, ofwhich the accompanying drawing forms a part, said drawing being acentral vertical section of my improved mucilage or otherliquid-adhesive bottle.

In the practice .of my invent-ion I provide a casing 5, which is open atthe top and closed at the bottom and which is preferably cylin' dricalin form, and said cylindrical casin g is provided with a cap or cover 6,which may he detachably connected therewith and which is also providedcentrally thereof with a circular opening 7, around which is formed anupwardly-directed flange or rim 8; but this flange or rim is immaterialand may or may not be employed.

Arranged concentrically of the casing 5, and preferably formedintegrally therewith, is a receptacle 9, which is preferablybottleshaped in form and which is provided with a neck 10, beveled to asharp edge at top, which passes upwardly through the central opening 7in the removable cap or cover 6, and I also provide a supplemental capor cover 11, which is provided with a depending annular flange or rim12, which is adapted to rest upon the cap or cover 6 of the casing andto inclose both the neck 10 of the receptacle 9 and also the centralopening '7in said cap or cover 6, and the supplemental cap or cover 11is provided with a central tubular extension 13, through which thehandle 14 of the brush 15 is passed, and said handle may be adj ustablyconnected with said tubular neck 13 or held at any desired positiontherein by friction. By means of this arrangement an annular chamber 16is formed around the receptacle 9, and the body portion of saidreceptacle is below the top of the casing 5, and in practice the chamber16 is filled with water or any other liquid, which preferably covers thebody portion of the receptacle 9 and extends upwardly around the neck10. The mucilage or otherliquid adhesive is placed in the receptacle 9,and the sup plemental cap or cover 11, with which the brush isconnected, incloses the opening 7 in the cap or cover 6 of the casing 5and also the neck 10 of the mucilage-receptacle.

The evaporation of the water or moisture caused thereby will act toprevent the evaporation of the mucilage, and it will also prevent themucilage from drying 011 the neck 10 of the bottle, and it will beapparent that the water may be poured into the annular chamber at anytime through the opening 7 in the cap or cover 6, and the supplementalcap or cover 11, which is removed with the brush whenever the latter isremoved, also aids in preventing the evaporation of the mucilage and toa certain extent the too rapid evaporation of the water.

The receptacle 9 may be formed independ ently of the casing 5, ifdesired; but in practice I prefer to make both the casing and the mucilagerreceptacle of glass and to form them integrally.

Having fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- A mu cilage or other liquidadhesive bottle,comprising a casing which is open at the top, and provided with a cap orcover, having a central circular opening formed therein, amucilage-receptacle arranged concentrically within said casing, and toconfine the vapor arising from said casin g and allow it to pass intosaid receptacle and provided with a neck which extends upwardly throughthe opening in the cap or cover, and a supplemental removable cap orcover, which is provided with a depending annular rim or flange, andwhich I00 is adapted to rest upon the cap or cover on the casing, saidsupplemental cap or cover being provided with a central opening throughWhich the handle of a muoilage brush is 5 adapted to be passed,substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname, in presenee of the subscribing Witnesses, this 16th day of June,1896.
